“Mi chiamo Edison e sono in Italia da tanti anni”, mi dice questo artista di strada peruviano. “Sono cieco, vedo appena le ombre, ma riesco a muovermi e andare e venire da casa in piazza per lavorare”. Gli chiedo se ha famiglia e mi risponde: “Dopo cinque anni a Milano da solo, sono tornato in Perù e ho sposato la mia fidanzata. Sono passati dieci anni, la famiglia è cresciuta , sono nati un maschio e due bambine”. Edison suona e batte il ritmo con i piedi, sotto gli occhi del lama (che da lontano sembra vero) e ha sempre intorno gente con bambini. “E' il lama che attira i piccoli”, mi dice, “l'accarezzano, le vogliono offrire le caramelle che, spesso trovo nel cestino insieme alle monete. E' stato un mio amico a consigliarmi di portarlo in piazza. Prima lo tenevo in casa, per ricordo della mia terra e di mio fratello che vive costruendo giocattoli”. Gli chiedo se è stato il lama a a portargli più lavoro, mi risponde: “Sì, per attirare i bambini senz'altro, ma da quando ho imparato a suonare, la gente si ferma e mi lascia offerte molto più di prima, quando dall'altro lato della piazza, avevo solo il mio cestino e chiedevo un aiuto. I milanesi sono molto buoni con me, spesso qualcuno mi invita a suonare da qualche parte”. Edison è contento perché mi ha detto che riesce a sbarcare il lunario e a non far mancare nulla ai suoi bambini che vanno regolarmente a scuola. La sua donna è a casa, non potrebbe lavorare con tre figli piccoli, e allora lui, non si concede mai un giorno di festa, tranne una settimana all'anno, quando lo raggiungono alcuni suoi parenti che vivono sparsi per l'Italia. Prima di salutarlo, gli chiedo come si chiama quella sorta di zufolo che suona, e lui mi risponde: “ E' un flauto e si chiama Sikus, ed è fatto di legno secco di bosco, ha una sola canna, a differenza del flauto di Pan che di canne ne ha da quattro a cinque. Lo saluto e raggiungo il gruppo juzzino che scatta a raffica davanti al Palazzo reale. Commenti, consigli e critiche sempre super graditi. Grazie. PS) Ho rinunciato al bianco e nero per dar risalto ai bellissimi colori peruviani.

Both the photo and the story are very beautiful. You were right to leave the color, typical of his land and that characterizes it.
Very good

I too photographed Edison a couple of times, in two different locations, (Palazzo Reale and Piazza San Babila) attracted by these magnificent colors he wears and his companion blade. :) I congratulate you, as well as the shot for the good story ... Thanks Annamaria, I did not know his story, as soon as I see him again I will certainly give him a more substantial offer.
Hello and happy Sunday :-)
